@romulan-commander and I were talking about how Ezri taking on the Dax symbiont is integral to her character but we both love Jadzia and hate her death and were trying to figure out ways this could work around and came up with:
AU where when Jadzia was hurt in Change of Heart it caused damage to her
connection with the symbiont and then Dukat’s attack made it worse so her body rejects the
symbiont but she can live without it now due to I dunno, trek science, however it causes damage to her
memories and she actually forgets Ben and that grief coupled with the attack on the station means he still leaves
but then Ezri still gets the symbiont and now has to deal with having some of Jadzia’s memories while she’s still right there
and no one really knows how to deal with especially not these two. but Ezri can help Jadzia recover some of her memories and Jadzia can help Ezri deal with the sudden onslaught of them and the symbiosis commission hates that the two of them are just existing like this because it def fucks up their whole ideal (I mean if two Trills aren’t supposed to interact who did in a previous lifetime them two Trills who hosted the same symbiont must be pissing them off)
I really like this idea because (1) Jadzia and Ezri being confused and in a bad situation but still helping each other out! (2) the Symbiosis Commission is trash and once they both feel better they can threaten the Commission to spill out all the things Dax knows and is supposed to keep secret, which would make me feel very vindicated
I feel like Dax hosts are like contractually not allowed to be straight. Like when they picked Dax to be joined they were like “oh, cool. As long as the host ain’t straight I’m up for anything.” And the caretakers had to jot down “no heteros” on Dax’s file.
it’s because the Dax symbiont was born in 20gayteen
I checked and the symbiote was born this year! What a time to be alive!
I would like to know why the writers of ds9 are trying to sell me the idea that Dr Julian “wanna know how I became saludatorian” Bashir is the office flirt like Jadzia “Big Dick Energy” Dax isn’t there charming the pants off of every alien in the station that even remotely looks like they can beat her in an arm wrestling match.
